While looking for an old bike advertisement for another thread I came across these. I copied them from the 'Globe Magazine' dated 1916.
From the prices I would imagine the Humber was considered a very upmarket car at the time.

I think much of the Saxon was US sourced. I never realized they retreaded tyres in 1916. ![Shocked](images/smiles/icon_eek.gif) _________________ Due to the onset of my mid eighties I'm no longer sprightly and rarely seen in my Austin special.
